Recommend your favorite This American Life episodes! I always see it recommended, but I don't listen regularly and want to know which episodes are must-listens. Thanks! |
So Many!
Enforcers, from 2008. The Chad scam was insane. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/363/enforcers Switched at birth, which I think they just reaired recently. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/360/switched-at-birth Fear of sleep that turned into a movie later https://www.thisamericanlife.org/361/fear-of-sleep/act-one-0 |
The feather heist, which is insane. |
Abdi and the golden ticket. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/560/abdi-and-the-golden-ticket |
That's the one episode I've listened to, it was good! - OP |
If you liked that one, check out the feather heist story. |
Babysitting - I still think about that brother & sister and their summer “babysitting” |
Hands on a Hardbody, the Wind Telephone, and the House at Loon Lake are exceptional and stayed with me for a long time. Fiasco, mentioned previously, is amazing too. |
Seconding House at Loon Lake |
21 Chump Street—both the interview and the musical version |
The Peter Pan section of this episode is my all time favorite! |
Spark Bird!! Specifically, We Need To Talk About Birdly!
So funny! |
Yes! Squirrel cop is amazing. I die laughing every time. |
The one at the car dealership. |
